Day 2: Offringa returns with a bang while Mortefon & Iachino claim a bullet each to set early pace in the men’s ahead of wet, wild & windy Wednesday. After a calm opening day to the 2019 Hvide Sande PWA World Cup, there was a full day of racing on offer for day two with two men’s and three women’s eliminations being completed in 10 to 20 knots of wind.
There was plenty of drama with several of the top seeds suffering less than ideal starts, while some sailors made a resurgence to leave the event excitingly poised heading into day three, which promises to be a cracker.
